Systems and Methods for Encrypting Unique Failure Codes to Aid in Preventing Fraudulent Exchanges of Information Handling System Components

2. The information handling system of claim 1, wherein the failure occurs during a boot of the information handling system preventing the processor from displaying information to the display device.

3. The information handling system of claim 2, wherein the management controller is further configured to determine if the management controller is capable of displaying information to the display device when the processor is prevented from displaying information to the display device.

4. The information handling system of claim 1, wherein generating the unique failure code associated with the failure comprises generating the unique failure code based on unique identifying information of the component that failed.

5. The information handling system of claim 4, wherein generating the unique failure code associated with the failure further comprises generating the unique failure code based on unique identifying information of the information handling system.

6. The information handling system of claim 1, wherein encrypting the unique failure code comprises encrypting the unique failure code using a private key embedded within the management controller.

7. The information handling system of claim 1, wherein the unique failure code associated with the failure indicates uniquely identifying information of an information handling resource of the information handling system.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the failure occurs during a boot of the information handling system preventing the processor from displaying information to the display device.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein generating the unique failure code associated with the failure comprises generating the unique failure code based on unique identifying information of the component that failed.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein generating the unique failure code associated with the failure further comprises generating the unique failure code based on unique identifying information of the information handling system.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein encrypting the unique failure code comprises encrypting the unique failure code using a private key embedded within the management controller.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the unique failure code associated with the failure indicates uniquely identifying information of an information handling resource of the information handling system.

16. The article of claim 15, wherein the failure occurs during a boot of the information handling system preventing the processor from displaying information to the display device.

17. The article of claim 16, wherein the instructions are further for causing the management controller to determine if the management controller is capable of displaying information to the display device when the processor is prevented from displaying information to the display device.

18. The article of claim 15, wherein generating the unique failure code associated with the failure comprises generating the unique failure code based on unique identifying information of the component that failed.

19. The article of claim 18, wherein generating the unique failure code associated with the failure further comprises generating the unique failure code based on unique identifying information of the information handling system.

20. The article of claim 15, wherein encrypting the unique failure code comprises encrypting the unique failure code using a private key embedded within the management controller.

21. The article of claim 15, wherein the unique failure code associated with the failure indicates uniquely identifying information of an information handling resource of the information handling system.
